Importing a file from Microsoft or the internet

I have a logo activity for a class. I have found a logo online that I would like to use. I am able to copy and paste it into Microsoft Word. Is there a way to import the logo into Autodesk Inventor 5.3 from Word or the internet?

You can make it a BMP then use it as a
texture.  However 5.3's tools for this are a bit limited.  R6 has some
wonderful decal tools.

Thank you for your help. I don't have BMP and I can't get texture to work. My students and I are trying to save it in Paint and other files that Inventor might recognize. Do you have any suggestions?

BMP is a bitmap.  Save the image to a disk,
then open it in Paint or other editing program and save it as a BMP
(bitmap).

to create a texture.  It's very difficult to get a texture to appear
correctly (for a single image).  Works great for a patterned effect but for
a single logo it's a  really pain.  As I said R6 has some great tools
to handle this...
